The King on visiting the U. S. s. Adams,
on Wednesday last, was attended by score
of Marines, as guardpof honor. Things are
low down, when 1t becomes necessary for
guards of honor from foreign vessel to &C
company the King to and from friendly
visit from the Palace to that ship.
During the recent excitement prevailing in
and about the city, the Marshal wisely or
dered all the saloons ond jobbing houses
closed, which added very much to the quiet
and order OF the city. Il was noticeable that
the number of intoxicated men was quite
small. 1t is 4 great pity that this order can
not be permanent.
